UK - Birmingham based glowshop.com announced the launch of their brand new range of 'invisible paints' - white in colour, translucent when dry, they are invisible until exposed to UV blacklight, when they will glow brightly in vibrant colours of blue, yellow, red, green and orange. (The artist paints under UV blacklight).

These innovative photo luminescent materials enable the production of UV special effects artwork including trompe-l'oeil and 3D. Dual Images can be created like day to night scenes created using a combination of conventional and invisible/UV revealing paints. Under normal light the viewer sees the day scene, the nighttime equivalent appearing when the image is exposed to UV blacklight. Applications range from the obvious to the not so obvious some including special effects, scenic effects and promotion and advertising.

The paint is a quick drying, matt finish, water based acrylic which incorporates the latest pigment technology. The paints are suitable for brush, sponge or spray application and can be applied to variety of substrates, including textiles, paper, wood, plaster, masonry, coated metal and some plastics. An art gallery and details of glowshop's range of UV lighting and UV reactive products can be found on the company's website.
